Mixing small amounts of 2-cycle fuel

1 cup of gas = 8 oz = 1/16 of a gallon

if the container of oil you have is meant to be entirely mixed with a gallon, take 1/16 of that oil and mix it with the gas. Or use 8/40 =

0.2 oz of oil for a 40:1 mix.

If you use a good brand of 50:1 oil you can mix 1 tsp oil with 1 cup of gas.

Thank you thank you thank you I just hardest time with math and I was searching for you so please give me answer for quite a quite a while and I think I got it and I'm not sure is now it's to the point where I have to know it for sure because I'm borrowing very expensive piece of equipment and I don't want to burn so I thought I was right came to me that it must be a teaspoon that had to me and that it was always better to err on the side of too much well then not enough and it's still so it needed to be 15 orange anyways thank you for confirming the so awesome and now I'm subscribed bless you

There is premixed two cycle fuel available if you don't trust your math. Home Depot, Harbor Freight, Lowes, and Menards have some. Your local auto parts store might too.

For the small amount of weed wacking I do I would never buy anything else but the premixed.

However this year I bought a rechargeable string trimmer, and greatly to my surprise I am VERY happy with it.

If you ask your pharmacist for a 10cc syringe they will usually give you one. It is less than a buck if you have to buy it.

10ccs of oil is 50:1 in a pint of gas. That is about what my chain saw holds. The weed whacker holds about 350cc of gas and 10 ccs gets close enough to 32:1 that I can live with that. Why would I fool with very expensive premix that may be months old by the time I get it when I have fresh gas here and I can mix it as I go?
